Get Wendy & Peter Pan Tickets London

Fly to Neverland with the RSC’s spectacular production of Wendy & Peter Pan, coming to the Barbican Theatre, London for a strictly limited season this autumn.

Starring acclaimed actor Toby Stephens (Oslo, Hamlet) as Captain Hook, this magical reimagining of J.M. Barrie’s classic tale is adapted by Ella Hickson and directed by Jonathan Munby (RSC’s King Lear, A Number). With thrilling flying sequences, swashbuckling sword fights, and breathtaking sets, it’s the perfect family show for half term and beyond.

Forget what you think you know about Neverland. In this darkly funny and emotionally rich retelling, Wendy & Peter Pan flips the narrative to centre on Wendy as she ventures far from the nursery on a courageous mission of her own.

With the fearless Tiger Lily, mischievous Tinker Bell, and Peter Pan himself at her side, Wendy navigates the world of Lost Boys, fairies, pirates, and mermaids – uncovering not just the truth about her family’s past but also what it really means to grow up.

Originally staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon to sold-out audiences, this production has been praised as “spectacular” by The Guardian, blending the timeless magic of the original story with a bold, modern perspective.
